Why not serve fried chicken on Juneteenth? How is it different from serving corned beef on St. Patrick’s day? ( old.lemmy.world )

Disclaimer: I am not trolling, I am an autistic person who doesn’t understand so many social nuances. Also I am from New Hampshire (97% white), so I just don’t have any close African-American friends that I am willing to risk asking such a loaded question.

Melon with something savory is a widely popular choice. See: honeydew with prosciutto/parma ham and cantaloupe/honeydew with tajin (Mexican mix of savory spices.)

Dave Chapelle had a whole bit about this before he decided to double (and triple, and quadruple) down on transphobia. He makes the very salient point that these things are delicious.

The “THIS IS A DEEPFAKE VOICE” label really helps human brains tell that it’s a deepfake voice.

My hot take is that a public life should mean a much reduced expectation of privacy. If you want to make decisions that affect millions (or billions) of people, those people should be able to see and hear everything you do outside of the most intimate necessities of life. E.G. you can poop without someone watching, but not much else. Don’t like it? Quit.

Biden should appoint Cornel West and Bernie Sanders as two of the additional 4 justices.

I like swapping them out but I wouldn’t do it all at once and I’d implement term limits that put them outside of a two-term president’s reach. I like 13 year Supreme Court terms because it’s a prime number and it would keep any one president from naming more than one or two justices.

Or, you know, a school. You know, where there are children? Maybe children who have physical limitations who have been called gimps?

Oh well, who cares about the educational environment and getting kids exposed to FOSS options instead of commercial software?

Oh jeez, next we’re going to hear about how underrated Huey Lewis is.

Just axe murder me and get it over with.

If you think you dislike Von Trier you should still check out The Five Obstructions. It’s fantastic and unlike any of his other work.

I’ve found Thai eggplant at 99 Ranch stores.

Materially supporting a fascist isn’t nothing.

Like “Born in the USA,” this song is…not positive about the US.

I read this headline and my first thought is that someone will use it to depict a celebrity or politician in a porn or gore (or both) context. That’s my reason for being against it.

“How does greenwashing work? Let the NYT show you with direct, practical examples.”

This is what keeps being ignored in these studies, and it seems like the only reason is that copping to the real reasons young people are showing higher rates of mental illness would require admitting that the status quo is unsustainable and frankly evil.

A report that said “gen z is profoundly distressed by the reality of global warming” means admitting we need to fix the climate or see our kids suffers deaths of despair in unprecedented numbers. The same is true if we admit that the economy won’t provide most of them a job that allows basic survival, much less a comfortable fulfilling life; or that these factors have combined to cause a turn to fascism.

One aspect you didn’t mention is whether the person is a public figure or not. If I know that “@milton23789” is a secret alt account for Taylor Swift, it’s probably fine to state that in public forums because Swift is a public figure. If that account is actually an alt for just some dude, it’s not as okay.

Do you also hate the word “potential?”

US sues Apple for illegal monopoly over smartphones ( www.theverge.com )

The US Department of Justice and 16 state and district attorneys general accused Apple of operating an illegal monopoly in the smartphone market in a new antitrust lawsuit. The DOJ and states are accusing Apple of driving up prices for consumers and developers at the expense of making users more reliant on its iPhones.

I don’t know how much of that falls under the DOJ’s purview. Based on what I’ve heard from various congressional staffers, a physical letter mailed to your congressional representative actually does mean something. You can also go to your city council meetings and tell the city council they should do something about housing.

Ghost in the Shell was an unnecessary remake of a fantastic original animation that was improved by the series that followed it. There was never a need for a live action version.

Counterpoint: it wasn't funny the first day it was posted.

This meme doesn’t work, because in the scene the image comes from, we have every reason to believe Ron Swanson actually does know more than the employee at the hardware store.
